Harvest: a winemaker’s first autumn act and its challenges
The piece outlines how harvest begins the wine year, with decisions on when to pick driven by variety, climate, and flavor. It notes risks from heat, drought, wind, rain, frost, hail, and wildlife, plus the need for readiness in fermenters, aging tanks, and skilled sampling to preserve acidity, sugar, and aroma. It cites Juan Gil in Jumilla, Napa tasting, and J. Lohr's Monterey facility, ending with an endorsement of Ohio vineyards and a contact for Gary Twining, certified wine educator.
